Hello, fellow Wikipedians! I started editing on Wikipedia officially in December 2011. My interests are mainly in History, Geography, and Linguistics. I'm not particularly focused in one area at the moment, making edits where ever I can. I also wish to make easier links by expanding current pages, and once I become well-read enough to, create articles. However, I do feel that improving the articles that are on Wikipedia are more important than adding more articles (Quality over Quantity). My main edits so far have been history-related, and mainly about the Middle Ages, but, the articles I've worked on to get to GA status are of the natural sciences (Ornithology-related). If I'm not editing, I'm probably reading, whether it be books, or articles on Wikipedia and other sites. If I make any mistakes, do not hesitate to inform me.

I will try to join certain groups when I get the chance.

• Middle Ages (Mainly c.800 to c.1500)
• Holy Roman Empire (and pretty much anything I can find about it, whether it be people, events, culture, facts, etc.)
• 11th Century England, Spain and Italy (Sicily & Papal States)
• 14th-18th Century France
• Byzantine relations with Western Europe 11th to 15th Centuries
• Song Dynasty China (and Early Ming)
• Heian, Kamakura, and Edo periods in Japan
• Abbasid and Fatimid Caliphates
• Early Modern Period (Huguenot & Catholic conflict in 16th and 17th Centuries, & know little of it, though, Worldwide contact within the 16th and 18th centuries)
• Spanish Empire (Particulary Spanish Florida, New Spain in Present-Day U.S.)
• Restoration England; and America during that era (Have yet to read about it yet, though)
• Mughal India
• And pretty much any facet of History from c.375 up to c.1815.

• Southeast Asia
• Oceania
• Pacific Ocean
• Latin America (mainland mainly)

• Anthropology
• Biogeography
• Ornithology

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Royalty and Nobility
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Middle Ages

• Kašperk Castle needs to be created.
• Karlsfried Castle needs to be created.
• Airedale Terrier needs to be cleaned up.
• Continue adding significant people, events, and places within the scope of the Wikiproject Former Countries/HRE Taskforce range (mainly High and Late Middle Ages.)
• Meng Yuanlao needs to have at least a stub.
• Y Make some improvments towards the New Spain portal.
• Y Make a Template:New Spain topics
• Recreate Portal:Southeast Asia

Today's featured article
The great cuckoo-dove (Reinwardtoena reinwardti) is a species of bird in the pigeon family. First described by zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck in 1824, it is found on islands from New GuineatoWallaceainprimary forest and the forest edge. It is a large pigeon, and in adults the head, neck, and breast are whitish or blue-grey, the underparts are bluish-grey, the upperparts are chestnut-brown, and the outer wings are black. Females differ from males in having yellower irises and duller orbital skin. Juveniles are mainly dull grey-brown, with dirty-white throats and bellies. The bird feeds on fruit and seeds, usually alone or in pairs, but forms mixed flocks at fruit trees. It will defend fruiting shrubs, an uncommon foraging behaviour among birds. Breeding occurs throughout the year, although timing varies over its range. Nests are platforms made of plant material and the clutch is one white egg. This species is classified as least concern due to its large range and stable population. (Full article...)
